A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2013 to study the foliar nutrition in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) at Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad under rainfed situation. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and ten foliar treatments of major nutrients. The yield attributes such as 100 pod weight (117.65 g), total number of pods plant-1 (28.37), 100 kernel weight (42.19 g), pod yield (3746 kg ha-1), kernel yield (2905 kg ha-1) and haulm yield (4253 kg ha-1) were higher in foliar spray of 2.0% urea + DAP + MOP combination (T8). Similarly, growth parameters such as leaf area (8.90 dm2 plant-1), leaf area index (2.97), total dry matter production (40.22 g plant-1), net returns (`108730 ha-1) and B:C (4.12) were the highest in foliar spray of 2.0% urea + DAP + MOP combination at 45 DAS followed by foliar spray of 19:19:19 (`108095 ha-1 and 4.12, respectively).
